UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 August 27, 2014 Mr. Michael P. Gallagher Vice President License Renewal Projects Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Exelon Generation Company, LLC 200 Exelon Way Kennett Square, PA 19348

SUBJECT:

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL PLANT-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT 49 TO THE GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF NUCLEAR PLANTS REGARDING LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NO. ME6557 AND ME6558)

Dear Mr. Gallagher:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the final plant-specific Supplement 49 to NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants" (GEIS), regarding the renewal of Operating License NPF-39 and NPF-85 for an additional 20 years of operation for the Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. Enclosed is a copy of the final supplement and the associated Federal Register Notice of Availability. This notice advises the public that the final supplement is publicly available at the NRC public document room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The accession numbers for the final Supplement 49 to the GEIS are ML14238A284 and ML14238A290. In addition, Pottstown Regional Public Library, 500 East High Street, Pottstown, PA, 19464-5656 has agreed to make the final supplement available for public inspection.

As discussed in Section 9.3 of the final supplement, the staff determined that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy-planning decisionmakers would be unreasonable. This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in the GEIS; (2) information provided in the environmental report and other documents submitted by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.; (3) consultation with Federal, state, local, and Tribal agencies; (4) the NRC staff's independent environmental review; and (5) consideration of public comments received during the scoping process and on the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.

M.Gallagher A separate Notice of Availability of the final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement will be placed in the Federal Register through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the NRC environmental project manager, Ms. Leslie Perkins at (301) 415-2375 or by e-mail at Leslie.Perkins@nrc.gov. Sincerely, /RA/ Brian Wittick, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 2 Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-352 and 50-353
